10/100/1000 PortsThe 10/100/1000 ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 328 feet(100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires twisted pair (UTP) cable of Category 5or higher. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 cable or higher.
PoE, PoE+, and Cisco UPoE PortsThe PoE+ and Cisco Universal Power Over Ethernet (Cisco UPoE) ports use the same connectors as describedin 10/100/1000 Port Connections, on page 39. They provide:
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide4
Product Overview10/100/1000 Ports
• PoE+ ports: Support for IEEE 802.3af-compliant powered devices (up to 15.4 W PoE per port) andsupport for IEEE 802.3at-compliant powered devices (up to 30 W PoE+ per port).
• Support for pre-standard Cisco powered devices.
• Support Cisco UPOE powered devices (up to 60W PoE per port). The maximum total PoE power in a1RU switch is 1800W.
• Configuration for StackPower. When the switch internal power supply module(s) cannot support thetotal load, StackPower configurations allow the switch to leverage power available from other switches.
• Configurable support for Cisco intelligent power management, including enhanced power negotiation,power reservation, and per-port power policing.
See the Power Supply Modules, on page 15 for the power supply matrix that defines the available PoE, PoE+,and Cisco UPOE power per port. The output of the PoE+ or UPOE circuit has been evaluated as a LimitedPower Source (LPS) per IEC 60950-1.
Multigigabit portsTheMultigigabit (mGig) ports can be configured to auto-negotiate multiple speeds on switch ports, and support100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, and 5 Gbps speeds on Category5e cables, and up to 10 Gbps over Category6and Category 6A cables.
Multigigabit ports do not support half duplex mode. Use full duplex mode.Note
The Multigigabit ports support PoE and PoE+ for all the supported speeds and cable types. The followingtable lists the cable types and speed.

Management PortsThe management ports connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server.
• Ethernet management port. See Ethernet Management Port, on page 18.
• RJ-45 console port (EIA/TIA-232). See RJ-45 Console Port, on page 18.
• USB mini-Type B console port (5-pin connector).
The 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port connection uses a standard RJ-45 crossover or straight-throughcable. The RJ-45 console port connection uses the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 female cable. The USB consoleport connection uses a USB Type A to 5-pin mini-Type B cable. The USB console interface speeds are thesame as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide5
Product OverviewMultigigabit ports
If you use the USB mini-Type B console port, the Cisco Windows USB device driver must be installed onany PC connected to the console port (for operation with Microsoft Windows). Mac OS X or Linux do notrequire special drivers.
The 4-pin mini-Type B connector resembles the 5-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible. Useonly the 5-pin mini-Type B.Figure 3: USB Mini-Type B Port
This illustration shows a 5-pin mini-Type B USB port.
With the CiscoWindows USB device driver, you can connect and disconnect the USB cable from the consoleport without affecting Windows HyperTerminal operations.
The console output always goes to both the RJ-45 and the USB console connectors, but the console input isactive on only one of the console connectors at any one time. The USB console takes precedence over theRJ-45 console.When a cable is connected into the USB console port, the RJ-45 console port becomes inactive.Conversely, when the USB cable is disconnected from the USB console port, the RJ-45 port becomes active.
You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to configure an inactivity timeout which reactivates the RJ-45console if the USB console has been activated and no input activity has occurred on the USB console for aspecified time.
After the USB console deactivates due to inactivity, you cannot use the CLI to reactivate it. Disconnect andreconnect the USB cable to reactivate the USB console. For information on using the CLI to configure theUSB console interface, see the Software Configuration Guide.
USB Type A PortThe USB Type A port provides access to external USB flash devices (also known as thumb drives or USBkeys).
The port supports Cisco USB flash drives with capacities from 128 MB to 8 GB (USB devices with portdensities of 128 MB, 256 MB, 1 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB are supported). When combined with stacking, you canupgrade other switches in the stack from an USB key inserted in any switch within the stack. Cisco IOSsoftware provides standard file system access to the flash device: read, write, erase, and copy, as well as theability to format the flash device with a FAT file system.
It provides you with the ability to automatically upgrade the internal flash with the USB drive's configurationand image for emergency switch recovery using USB auto-upgrade. This feature checks the internal flash fora bootable image and configuration and if either image or the configuration is not available, then the USBdrive is checked for boot images and configuration. If the boot image and configuration are available, theseare copied to flash for the reboot.
Network ModulesThe switch supports one hot-swappable network module that provides uplink ports to connect to other devices.The switch should only be operated with either a network module or a blank module installed.
The switch generates logs when you insert or remove a network module with SFP/SFP+/SFP28 ports.

The port mode determines the type of information shown by the port LEDs.
To select or change a mode, press the Mode button until the desired mode is highlighted. When you changeport modes, the meanings of the port LED colors also change.
When you press the Mode button on any switch in the switch stack, all the stack switches change to show thesame selected mode. For example, if you press the Mode button on the active switch to show the SPEEDLED, all the other switches in the stack also show the SPEED LED.

Verifying Switch OperationBefore you install the switch in a rack, on a wall, or on a table or shelf, power on the switch and verify thatit passes POST.
To power on the switch, plug one end of the AC power cord into the switch AC power connector, and plugthe other end into an AC power outlet.
As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the switchfunctions properly. LEDs can blink during the test. POST lasts approximately 1 minute. The SYST LEDblinks green, and the other LEDs remain solid green.
When the switch completes POST successfully, the SYST LED remains green. The RPS LED remains greenfor some time and then reflects the switch operating status. The other LEDs turn off and then reflect the switchoperating status. If a switch fails POST, the SYST LED turns amber.
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST.
After a successful POST, unplug the power cord from the switch and install the switch in a rack, on a wall,on a table, or on a shelf.
If your configuration has an RPS, connect the switch and the RPS to different AC power sources. See theCisco RPS documentation for information.
When you connect the RPS to the switch, put the RPS in standby mode. Set the RPS to active mode duringnormal operation.

Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide25
Switch InstallationTools and Equipment
Switch Stacking and Power Stacking GuidelinesBefore connecting the switches in a stack, keep in mind these stacking guidelines:
• Size of the switch and any optional power-supply module. The 1100-W power-supply module is longerthan the other modules. Stacking switches with the same power-supply modules together makes it easierto cable the switches.
• Length of cable. Depending on the configurations that you have, you might need different-sized cables.If you do not specify the length of the StackWise cable, the 0.5-meter cable is supplied. If you need the1-meter cable or the 3-meter cable, you can order it from your Cisco supplier. For cable part numbers,see StackWise Ports, on page 15. The Data Stack Cabling Configurations, on page 26 provides examplesof recommended configurations.
• For rack-mounted switch stacks that are members of a StackPower stack as well as a data stack, seePlanning a StackPower Stack, on page 29.
• You can create data stacks with up to eight switches in a stack.
Data Stack Cabling ConfigurationsThis is an example of a recommended configuration that uses the supplied 0.5-meter StackWise cable. In thisexample, the switches are stacked in a vertical rack or on a table. This configuration provides redundantconnections. The configuration example uses the supplied 0.5-meter StackWise cable. The example showsthe full-ring configuration that provides redundant connections.Figure 9: Data Stacking the Switches in a Rack or on a Table Using the 0.5-meter StackWise Cables
This example shows a recommended configuration when the switches are mounted side-by-side. Use the1-meter and the 3-meter StackWise cables to connect the switches. This configuration provides redundantconnections.Figure 10: Data Stacking in a Side-by-Side Mounting
Data Stack Bandwidth and Partitioning ExamplesThis section provides examples of data stack bandwidth and possible data stack partitioning. The figure showsa data stack of switches that provides full bandwidth and redundant StackWise cable connections.
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide26
Switch InstallationSwitch Stacking and Power Stacking Guidelines
Figure 11: Example of a Data Stack with Full Bandwidth Connections
This figure shows an example of a stack of switches with incomplete StackWise cabling connections. Thisstack provides only half bandwidth and does not have redundant connections.Figure 12: Example of a Data Stack with Half Bandwidth Connections
The figures below show data stacks of switches with failover conditions. In this figure, the StackWise cableis bad in link 2. Therefore, this stack provides only half bandwidth and does not have redundant connections.Figure 13: Example of a Data Stack with a Failover Condition
In this figure, link 2 is bad. Therefore, this stack partitions into two stacks, and the top and bottom switchesbecome the active switch in the stack. If the bottom switch is a member (not active or standby switch), itreloads.Figure 14: Example of a Partitioned Data Stack with a Failover Condition
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide27
Switch InstallationData Stack Bandwidth and Partitioning Examples
Power-On Sequence for Switch StacksConsider these guidelines before you power on the switches in a stack:
• The sequence in which the switches are first powered on might affect the switch that becomes the stackmaster.
• There are two ways to elect an active switch:
• If you want a particular switch to become the active switch, configure it with the highest priority.Among switches with same priority, the switch with the lowest MAC address becomes the activeswitch.
• If you want a particular switch to become the active switch, power on that switch first. This switchremains the active switch until a reelection is required. After 2 minutes, power on the other switchesin the stack. If you have no preference as to which switch becomes the active switch, power on allthe switches in the stack within 1 minute. These switches participate in the active switch election.Switches powered on after 2 minutes do not participate in the election.
If changes are made to the stack without powering down the switches, the following results can occur:
• If two operating partial ring stacks are connected together using a stack cable, a stack merge can takeplace. This situation reloads the whole stack (all switches in the stack).
• If some switches in the stack are completely separated from the stack, a stack split can occur.• A stack split can occur on a full ring stack if:
• More than one running switch is removed without powering down.• More than one stack cable is removed without powering down.
• A stack split can occur in a partial ring stack if:
• A switch is removed without powering down.• A stack cable is removed without powering down.
• In a split stack, depending on where the active and standby switches are located, either two stacks mightbe formed (with the standby taking over as the new active switch in the newly formed stack) or all themembers in the newly formed stack might reload.
These results depend on how the switches are connected. You can remove two or more switches from thestack without splitting the stack.
Note
For conditions that can cause a stack reelection or to manually elect the active switch, see the stacking softwareconfiguration guide on Cisco.com at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/go/c9300.
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide28
Switch InstallationPower-On Sequence for Switch Stacks
Planning a StackPower Stack
StackPower Stacking GuidelinesYou can configure a StackPower stack for either power sharing or redundancy. In power-sharing mode, thepower of all the power supplies in the stack is aggregated and distributed among the stack members.
In redundant mode, when the total power budget of the stack is calculated, the wattage of the largest powersupply is not included. That power is held in reserve and used to maintain power to switches and attacheddevices when one power supply fails. Following the failure of a power supply, the StackPower mode becomespower sharing.
Power-sharing mode is the recommended configuration for Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches.Note
For general concepts and management procedures for switch power stacks, see the Software ConfigurationGuide on Cisco.com.
Before connecting the switches in a power stack, keep in mind these guidelines:
• A switch power stack can include a maximum of four switches in a ring topology and eight switches ina star topology.
• Size of the switch and any optional power supply module. The 1100-W power-supply module is 1.5inches (3.81 cm) longer than the other modules, and with the attached cable retention clip, it extends 3inches (7.62 cm) from the switch chassis. Stacking switches with the same power-supplymodules togethermakes it easier to cable the switches. For switch dimensions, see Appendix A, “Technical Specifications.”
• Length of cable. Depending on the configurations that you have, you might need different-sized cables.If you do not specify the length of the StackPower cable, the 0.3 meter cable is supplied. If you need the1.5 meter cable, you can order it from your Cisco supplier. For cable part numbers, see StackPowerConnector, on page 18. The StackPower Cabling Configurations, on page 29 provides examples ofrecommended configurations.
• For rack-mounted switch stacks that are members of a data stack and a StackPower stack, see SwitchStacking and Power Stacking Guidelines, on page 26
StackPower Cabling ConfigurationsThis section describes the recommended cabling configurations for a StackPower stack. There are two typesof StackPower cables.
The cable in the figure connects a switch to another switch in a power stack or with an XPS. StackPowercables have color bands on the cable ends:
• The cable end with the green band can connect only to a switch.
• The cable end with the yellow band can connect to a switch or an XPS.
The cable is available in two lengths.

10/100/1000 Port ConnectionsThe switch 10/100/1000 port configuration changes to operate at the speed of the attached device. If theattached ports do not support autonegotiation, you can manually set the speed and duplex parameters.Connecting devices that do not autonegotiate or that have the speed and duplex parameters manually set canreduce performance or result in no linkage.
To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the Ethernet ports:
• Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.
• Set the interface speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.
Auto-MDIX ConnectionsThe autonegotiation and the auto-MDIX features are enabled by default on the switch.
With autonegotiation, the switch port configurations change to operate at the speed of the attached device. Ifthe attached device does not support autonegotiation, you can manually set the switch interface speed andduplex parameters.
With auto-MDIX, the switch detects the required cable type for copper Ethernet connections and configuresthe interface accordingly.
If auto-MDIX is disabled, use the guidelines in this table to select the correct cable.

Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if interconnections aremade using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals. Avoid using such interconnectionmethods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a restricted access location and users and servicepeople who are authorized within the restricted access location are made aware of the hazard. A restrictedaccess area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security.Statement 1072
Warning
Voice over IP (VoIP) service and the emergency calling service do not function if power fails or is disrupted.After power is restored, you might have to reset or reconfigure equipment to regain access to VoIP and theemergency calling service. In the USA, this emergency number is 911. You need to be aware of the emergencynumber in your country. Statement 371
Warning
Category 5e and Category 6 cables can store high levels of static electricity. Always ground the cables to asuitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the switch or other devices.
Caution
Noncompliant cabling or powered devices can cause a PoE port fault. Use only standard-compliant cablingto connect Cisco prestandard IP Phones and wireless access points, IEEE 802.3af, or 802.3at (PoE+)-compliantdevices. You must remove any cable or device that causes a PoE fault.

• Four leads of 14-gauge copper wire.
Installing Network Modules
The switch can operate without a network module, but a blank module (with no ports or SFP slots) is availableand should be installed when uplink ports are not required.
Note
The switch generates logs when you insert or remove a network module with SFP/SFP+/SFP28 slots.Note
Use only supported network modules and SFP, SFP+, SFP28 or QSFP modules. Each module has an internalserial EEPROM that is encoded with security information.
The network module is hot-swappable. If you remove a module, replace it with another network module ora blank module.
The switch complies with EMC, safety, and thermal specifications when a network module is present. If nouplink ports are required, install a blank network module.
Note
Before you begin
When installing network modules, observe these precautions:
• Do not remove the blank module from the slot unless you are installing an SFP, SFP+, SFP28 or QSFPmodule. Either a module or a dust plug must be in the slot at all times.
• Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP, SFP+, SFP28 and QSFP modules or the rubbercaps from the fiber-optic cable until you connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the module portsand cables from contamination and ambient light.
• Removing and installing a network module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert a networkmodule more often than is necessary.
• To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when connectingcables to the switch and other devices.

Installing SFP, SFP+ and SFP28 Modules
Before you begin
You must have an installed network module to use SFP, SFP+ and SFP28 modules. See the switch releasenotes on Cisco.com for the list of supported SFP, SFP+ and SFP28 modules. Use only supportedSFP/SFP+/SFP28 modules on the switch. For the latest information about supported SFP, SFP+ and SFP28modules, refer to the Cisco Transceiver Modules Compatibility Information.
For information about installing, removing, cabling, and troubleshooting SFP/SFP+/SFP28 modules, see themodule documentation that shipped with your device.
Observe these precautions:
Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008Warning
• Do not remove the dust plugs from the SFP/SFP+/SFP28 modules or the rubber caps from the fiber-opticcable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the module ports and cablesfrom contamination and ambient light.
• Removing and installing an SFP/SFP+/SFP28 module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove andinsert any SFP/SFP+/SFP28 module more often than is necessary.
• To prevent ESD damage, follow your normal board and component handling procedures when connectingcables to the switch and other devices.
• When you insert several SFP/SFP+/SFP28 modules in multiple switch ports, wait for 5 seconds betweeninserting each SFP/SFP+/SFP28. This will prevent the ports from going into error disabled mode.Similarly, when you remove an SFP/SFP+/SFP28 from a port, wait for 5 seconds before reinserting it.
Procedure

Installation GuidelinesObserve these guidelines when removing or installing a power supply or fan module:
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide57
Installing a Power SupplyInstallation Guidelines
• Do not force the power supply or fan module into the slot. This can damage the pins on the switch if theyare not aligned with the module.
• A power supply that is only partially connected to the switch can disrupt the system operation.
• Remove power from the power-supply module before removing or installing the module.
• The power supply is hot-swappable. In some configurations, such as full PoE+ or power sharing mode,removing a power supply causes powered devices to shut down until the power budget matches the inputpower of a single power supply. To minimize network interruption, hot swap the power supply underthese circumstances:
• The switch is in StackPower mode and sufficient power is available.
• The switch is powered by other switches in a power stack, and no active backup is in progress.
For the switch commands that display available power budget, see the software configuration guide.
Do not operate the switch with one power-supply module slot empty. For proper chassis cooling, both moduleslots must be populated, with either a power supply or a blank module.
Caution
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absenceof a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electricianif you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Statement 1024
Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltagesand currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt otherequipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless allcards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Statement 1029
Warning
Do not reach into a vacant slot or chassis while you install or remove a module. Exposed circuitry couldconstitute an energy hazard.

Configuring the Switch Using the Web User Interface
Setting up the SwitchAfter you complete the hardware installation, you need to setup the switch with configuration required toenable traffic to pass through the network. On your first day with your new device, you can perform a numberof tasks to ensure that your device is online, reachable and easily configured.
The Web User Interface (Web UI) is an embedded GUI-based device-management tool that provides theability to provision the device, to simplify device deployment and manageability, and to enhance the userexperience. It comes with the default image, so there is no need to enable anything or install any license onthe device. You can use WebUI to build configurations, and to monitor and troubleshoot the device withouthaving CLI expertise.
Connecting to the Switch
Before you begin
The bootup script runs the configuration wizard, which prompts you for basic configuration input: (Wouldyou like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: ). To configure Day0 settings using the WebUI, do not enter a response. Perform the following tasks instead:
Procedure
Step 1 Make sure that no devices are connected to the switchStep 2 Connect one end of an ethernet cable to one of the uplink (non-management) ports on the active supervisor
and the other end of the ethernet cable to the host (PC).Step 3 Set up your PC as a DHCP client, to obtain the IP address of the switch automatically.
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide69
It may take up to three mins. You must complete the Day0 setup through the WebUI before using the deviceterminal.
Step 4 Launch aWeb browser on the PC and enter the device IP address (https://192.168.1.1) in the addressbar.
What to do next
Create a user account.
Creating User AccountsSetting a username and password is the first task you will perform on your device. Typically, as a networkadministrator, you will want to control access to your device and prevent unauthorized users from seeing yournetwork configuration or manipulating your settings.
Procedure
Step 1 Log on using the default username and password provided with the device.
The default username is cisco; the default password is the serial number of the switch chassis.
Step 2 Set a password of up to 25 alphanumeric characters. The username password combination you set gives youprivilege 15 access. The string cannot start with a number, is case sensitive, and allows spaces but ignoresleading spaces.
